Snowpack Summary

In most of our forecast area, the March 24 crust can be found up to 2450m with an average of 20-40cm on top of it with the interface being facets. Wind slabs are present at treeline and in the alpine from previous winds. There is 2 cm of snow sitting on top of a sun crust up to about 2200m on solar aspects.

Weather Summary

Thursday will be snowy with 5-10cm of snow forecast. The temperature range will be between -10c and -2c. Winds will start out to be moderate from the South and then shift to moderate from the SE in the afternoon. We are now in Spring time weather mode so do not be surprised if snow amounts vary from valley to valley.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
